Lazy River at Aruba Surf Club

[22go]

We just booked at the Surf Club for Oct. 4, 2026 and realized that the lazy river is not to be completed until Oct. 16. Are these projects ever completed early? Grandchildren will not want to go if they can’t get into the lazy river

Assume not and assume it could over-run.

Last time it re-opened earlier than planned- but you never know. If they really “wouldn't want to go” if it’s not open than you better reschedule.

Long ago, Jan 2009, I was there and tried this. Maybe just me, but I spent most of my lazy river time trying not to bang my head on all the fake rocks along the side.

We just got back from Surf Club and actually, the lazy river was 95% adults laying back with drinks and the little kids stayed in the main pool with the slide and waterfalls. I wouldn't skip the trip based on the lazy river.

Is the kids pool with waterfall also being refurbished?
That is where my 2 and 6 year old grandkids spent most of their times.

Trust that it will be done on time. The GM there is great and will ensure completion on time.
